About Disaster Preparedness in Sausalito

The Sausalito Disaster Preparedness/Emergency Operations Program has the major responsibility of preparing the City of Sausalito for disasters, and has provided disaster preparedness information and training to all City departments as well as citizens’ groups that have requested assistance

The Director of Emergency Services and the Emergency Services Manager are the main contacts and conduit for Emergency Management information to other city, county and state agencies

The program provides representatives to the Office of Emergency Services Coordinators and the Marin County Emergency Service Mangers/Coordinators meetings

The City’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is activated during extraordinary emergencies and disasters

The Emergency Staff is made up of City personnel who act as section chiefs and are supported by City staff

The primary duties are to plan and coordinate all response and recovery operations utilizing the Incident Command System

Types of Disasters

Disasters, both small and large, seldom give warning and are always equally devastating to their victims

There are many different kinds of disasters that may strike us in Sausalito, including:

Earthquakes

Mudslides

Wildfire

Floods

Fires

Airplane crashes

Chemical spills

Pipeline leaks

Among others

The City of Sausalito has developed plans regarding such emergencies, but are you prepared to handle all kinds of disasters?

The next time disaster strikes, you may not have much time to act - prepare now for a sudden disaster or emergency

Learn how to protect yourself and handle a disaster by planning ahead

Discuss all ideas with your family, and then prepare an emergency plan

Make sure everyone in your family is well versed in the plan and that the plan is kept in a readily accessible area.
